Screen sharing

This feature is available only on Mac® and PC.

All participants who want to share their screen must be using a PC or Mac®. When you have started a call or chat, you can share your screen or an application with the other people. Viewers can zoom in and out of the screen you're sharing.

Viewing shared screen on tablets

You need a Mac or PC to share your screen, but you can view someone else's screen with an Android tablet or iPad®.

You can pause or stop sharing your screen without ending the call or chat. If you end the call or chat, the screen sharing stops automatically.
